How about a half-decent photoshop?

I think it flows well. It's hard to choose a perfect side skirt with the Rieger Rear and Brabus front because of the smooth curves vs boxiness. This is a happy median!

Interesting....what brand are they? I like the way it starts but then going towards the back...hmmmm..then you photo shop'd them black and they look great.... I say full steam ahead and get them puppies painted and installed.

what are you doing with the reg side skirts you have on?

What about this one? It has rear vents like the Reiger rear bumper?

I have actually been checking the same thing. I Have both front and rear Brabus Bumpers as well as the side skirts (skirts are prttey beat up though and look too much like the already factory rocker panel- so I am not going to use them).

Thanks MikeD for the PhotoShop magic! It looks awesome I'm going to get a molding of the whole kit to fabricate replicates, just because I love how this car has turned out

a buddy designed them, they go over the stock ones.

Those are slightly ricer IMO. But to each their own. I would keep the lines nice and clean and in form with the brabus front end you have. Grab the C36 replica skirts if anything.

In my opinion top looks better.
Take a daytime picture so everyone can make a better assessment.

I like the str8 line first one, it does keep the lines cleaner....

[MikeD]

I like the bottom. Rieger Infinity-looking skirts DON'T flow well with the brabus front.

[Christopher]

i think it transitions well, the straight one doesnt fit as perfect as the rieger infinity looking one. the plain on is a bit longer i would have to cut it

[SD202]

Rieger skirts always reminded me of M3 ones so did the front lip for that matter. It works better out of the two options. Ide still suggest test fitting a c36 skirt they are a really nice more depth, and IMHO would flow well with the brabus and rieger rear end. just a suggestion. I mean its a boxy square car with boxy features and you want to put a skirt on that doesnt compliment that what so ever, it just kinda throws it off. you have a super clean front end. dont ruin that.

if you dont want the c36 sides, i'll take them no problem...let me know

[james p]

NO NO NO>>>>> remove. Just saying

[Christopher]

Those are not for the c36 I would never touch a c36 as far as body mods it was born complete , the c280 on the other hand looks wierd with drop, kit, and no side skirts they were free they came with the Jaguar I just bought, so can't complain, he also had the straight ones but then I found out they came from a BMW so I'm sticking with the rieger infinity looking ones.

[SD202]

Those BMW side skirts look closer to the rieger skirts than the ones with the fake vent things.

Anyone ever use or see the sideskirt products from Duraflex?
Quality and fitment issues?

Also I see they list an AMG ( C36) replica as well as the spaceage looking C43. Bt they also list something called a C-RS sideskirt that is a little more expensive but looks pretty much just like the C36 pics. Does the CR-S hang a little lower than the AMG one? Curious if anyone has either of these or has seen them in person.

They both look identical to me.

^^i'd also like to know about this

What I have experience with seeing aftermarket sideskirts is, they dont have the square cut out for the jack. They do have an imprint of a little square, but i believe you have to cut it out. But when you cut it out, what happens then? how do you attach it on and off?
